divine talisman

Before Chen Lingkong could finish his voice, Chen Xi stood up.

He can clearly feel that there are surprises, disdain, ridicule, banter, and suspicion in the eyes looking at him...

But none of these could shake Chen Xi's heart. With a calm expression and no surprise, he cupped his hands towards Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian, his two senior brothers, then stepped into the void and walked towards the altar under the distant sky. .

Clothed and dressed, Chen Xi was walking forward alone. With his movements, the eyes of the audience also moved accordingly, as if everyone wanted to see what kind of person this Chen Xi was, and who gave him such boldness. , dare to get involved in this heir competition.

But to Chen Xi, all of this seemed to be non-existent. Right now, in his eyes, only the ancient altar and the upcoming battle!

He has waited too long for today, and he has put in so much hard work and sweat for it, so this time, he will never allow himself to fail.

Because only if he succeeds, can he save his parents under the eyes of everyone, in this Chen clan that is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!

So, this battle...

Must win!

……

"That guy is Chen Xi? It doesn't look like he's too strong."

"Hmph, a little bastard who came from the ancient gods, and tried to get involved in the successor of our Chen clan, it's really reckless!"

"I'm curious, why did the Supreme Elder allow an outsider to participate? Is it just because he is a descendant of the sinner Chen Lingjun? But there is no trace of our Chen family's blood in him!"

"Hehe, don't be confused. No matter how unbearable this guy is, he is the descendant of Shenyan Mountain after all. If we don't give him face, we will eventually give Shenyan Mountain some face."

"I think he's humiliating himself!"

"I'm really curious about how strong his combat power is. After all, a few days ago, this guy relied on the power of a four-star domain lord to defeat Chen Ziyu, who has the power of a five-star domain lord. This is very unusual."

"That's interesting, isn't it? If he is too weak, even if he is defeated, there will be no sense of accomplishment. On the contrary, it will appear that our Chen clan is too bullying."

As Chen Xi's figure approached the ancient altar, there were bursts of discussions in the field.

Most of those voices had clear attitudes, and they were extremely repulsive to Chen Xi, as if they were watching a clown looking for his own death.

There was also a small group of people who showed curiosity. In their opinion, if Chen Xi could defeat Chen Ziyu, his combat power would definitely not be weak.

However, what they were curious about was just how long Chen Xi would be able to hold on until he was defeated in this heir competition.

As for whether Chen Xi could win, they didn't even bother to think about it, because in their view, since Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun were three overlords in this heir competition, Chen Xi absolutely had no hope of winning.

In short, regarding Chen Xi's participation in this heir competition this time, everyone had an attitude of suspicion, rejection, and disdain. Come to seek shame.

This was the attitude of all the members of the Chen clan present, with a clear-cut stand. To them, although Chen Xi was born in Shenyan Mountain, he was still an outsider after all!

An outsider dares to think about the number of their clan heirs, isn't this courting death?

And for those guests who watched the ceremony, they were also very suspicious of why Chen Lingkong would allow an outsider to participate in such a solemn and serious matter.

Could it be because of the power of Shenyan Mountain that he had to do this?

Or, is it because of the father-son relationship between Chen Xi and the now imprisoned Chen Lingjun?All of this seemed unusual and intriguing.

However, the more this happened, the more they were curious about what caused all this trouble.

……

Very soon, Chen Xi came to the ancient altar and stood at the side of the fifteen Chen clan members who were about to participate in the succession competition.

This scene was very interesting, he was standing there alone, and next to him was a group of members of the Chen clan, clearly separated, seemingly not interfering with each other, but in fact there was a faint confrontation with each other, and there was a tendency of incompatibility.

Chen Lingkong, who was standing in the center of the altar, seemed not to have seen this scene. When Chen Xi arrived, he directly announced the rules of the clan heir competition in a low voice.

"This campaign will be divided into two rounds."

"The first round will be divided into four groups. I will choose one person from each group to enter the ring and accept the challenges of the other three people in the same group. Whoever can persist in the ring to the end will enter the second round. Showdown."

Speaking of this, Chen Lingkong waved his sleeve robe.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

With four deafening noises in a row, four rings were raised on the ancient altar with a radius of one hundred thousand feet.

Each arena is made of strange chaotic secret stones, densely covered with obscure textures, releasing a terrifying fighting spirit, disturbing the world.

It is conceivable that if you fight in it, it is enough to ensure that the aftermath of the battle will not spread to the outside world, and at the same time, it will not be disturbed by external forces.

At this time, when they heard the rules announced by Chen Lingkong and saw the four arenas, the audience couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

"Choose four people and accept the challenge of others. Isn't this equivalent to a wheel battle? Seems a bit unfair?"

"No, strictly speaking, this is 'winning the ring'! Whoever can hold on to the end in the ring will be the final winner!"

"Four arenas mean that in this first round of elections, four winners will eventually be born."

"But this rule...is indeed very unfair. The first to enter the ring will suffer the most, and the last to enter the ring will undoubtedly benefit the most."

There was a lot of discussion, and even many members of the Chen clan did not expect that such a unique rule would be adopted in this heir competition.

"This Chen Lingkong is very ruthless. If he sends his junior brother to be the first to enter the ring, he will have to defeat the three of them one after another. Only then can he win the first round and enter the second round."

Tang Xian frowned, his voice was a bit cold.

"What he did was nothing more than exhausting all means to completely kick the little junior out of the game. Although the means are a bit despicable, it is normal."

Wu Xuechan said lightly.

"It's not just despicable, it's shameless."

Tang Xian said coldly.

Wu Xuechan smiled and said no more, but there was actually a trace of sullenness in his heart, but he knew very well that it would be useless to get angry again at this time.

For the current plan, we can only place our hopes on Chen Xi's own performance.

……

"quiet!"

Hearing the buzzing sound of discussion in the audience, Chen Lingkong couldn't help frowning, and shouted in a deep voice, the sound shook the world like thunder, and instantly made the audience silent, and there was no sound.

"If you want to become the patriarch of our Chen clan, if you don't have the unrivaled power to wipe out thousands of troops with one enemy, how can you talk about convincing the crowd? How can you talk about leading the entire Chen clan?"

Chen Lingkong scolded in a deep voice, righteously, "If you can't even stand this kind of test, how can you provoke the burden of the rise of the entire clan in the future?"

The stern words made many members of the Chen clan secretly ashamed, yes, it is so easy to become the head of the Chen clan?

Only Chen Xi sneered in his heart. He had a strong premonition that what Chen Lingkong said sounded good, but in fact, this election rule must be aimed at him!

Sure enough, what happened next verified Chen Xi's thoughts.

Chen Lingkong did not use any fair method at all, and directly divided Chen Xi and his sixteen candidates for the election into four groups.

In the group that Chen Xi was in, there was not any one of Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun.

This made many members of the Chen clan present quite puzzled, even dissatisfied. They thought that Chen Lingkong took care of Chen Xi, and couldn't bear him to meet any of Chen Daoyuan and the others in this first round of duel, lest It's too ugly to lose.

Only Chen Xi knew clearly that this was not a care at all, and there must be some mystery in it!

If you look carefully at the grouping situation this time, you will find that Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun are not in the same group.

In other words, Chen Xi, Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun were divided into different groups.

"Now, Chen Zhongze from the first group, Chen Wenwu from the second group, Chen Jing from the third group, and Chen Xi from the fourth group!"

Chen Lingkong said in a deep voice, "The four of you will be the first to enter the ring and accept the challenge from the other three in your same group. The losers will be eliminated directly, and the winners can stay in the ring and continue to accept challenges from others until everyone in each group After everyone is on the stage to challenge, the first round of competition will be over!"

really!

Chen Xi sneered in his heart, and he knew that he would definitely be the first to be chosen.

At this moment, it wasn't just Chen Xi, everyone in the audience saw this, especially those members of the Chen clan, they couldn't help laughing, laughing jokingly, as if they were watching a joke.

Tang Xian and Wu Xuechan looked at each other, both of them were silent, no one knew what they were thinking at the moment.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The three members of the Chen clan who were named by Chen Lingkong rushed to the different arenas first and boarded them.

Seeing this, Chen Xi didn't hesitate anymore. Even though he despised Chen Lingkong's despicable tricks in his heart, he had no choice but to face them head-on.

Swish!

With a flash of his figure, Chen Xi also came to the fourth altar.

Standing in it, he swept his gaze, and immediately saw that the eyes of Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun in the distance were also looking towards him.

The three of them didn't seem to intend to challenge their opponents in the ring right now, they looked calm and leisurely.

Seeing this, Chen Xi's heart sank, and he immediately guessed a possibility. Could it be that Chen Lingkong made such an arrangement because he wanted to take this opportunity to let Chen Daoyuan and the others watch his battle from the sidelines, so as to find out his details?
